Onto Prince Abdalasis came one day
ADervish, saying: II have tasted still
For six long years on bread and water, till
Ny flesh is sore, yet God seems far away
The Prince made answer: Fasting thou

Halfway to God, His threshold reach by

the Dervish went his way. and in six years

The Prince then kindly answered him: by
prayer
The threshold of great Allah do we win,
But It's almsgiving that doth lead us in
To stand before His glorious presence there.
Go forth; give aims; thou tindest Allah when
Thou iindest thy poor suffering fellow men,"
The Dervish heard the word. and turned to 90,
Perplexed and grieved he toiled along the
road.
This one coarse loaf that charity bestowed
On me is all that l have to bestow.
Will the great Allah dcign a thought to take
On such mean Offering given for His sake:'
Within an hour a crippled teggar came
And reached his hand II charity to crave:
Kindly his coarse brown lonf the neryish

"'Tis all | have, friend: take it IN Gods name"
Then suddenly around about him there
A mighty splendor dazzled all the air.

THE WHITE DOVE.
It Brought Good Fortune to a
Whole Family.

The clouds hung low in the western
sky one Eastern Eve as two little girls
went hurrying through the crowded
city streets. Suddenly Il red CLEAN
shot out from behind the dark cloud
rampant just as the girls turned a street
corner, and one of them cried out

matter how dark and stormy its been

''Sce' scc!' cried Cecile. her pale

Her friend looked mt her. with a
troubled face.
'Cecilc. I'm most afraid when you
look and talk like that. Please don't.'
You see, Marian was plump and
roSy-checked and practical. Cecilc
scarcely heard her. and the two walked
on in silence.
The little friends were cash-girls in
the same store. Every morning they
went TO their work in company. and
every evening the walk home was a
pleasure because they could talk as
they went. The children were very
unlike. Crcilc was a dreamy. sensi-
tive little Swiss "irl. while Marian,
strong Of heart and limb, was well
fitted to meet the rebuffs of a busy,
work-a-day world. Always quick,

A PATRIOTIC PIGEON.
The Story of u Clever Bird Now Owned
by the French Government,

AHe StoTN VI SleNcr lbtru NOW owned
by the French Government.
General Boulangcr has recently given
prizes 10 the best trainers of carrie,
pigeons in the Department Of the Seine.
Pigeon training in France has become
a branch Of the military service. and
plenty Of well trained birds are to be
found in the costly and beautiful little
establishments that have been built for
them. They are furnished with modern
improvements and luxurics that Vulgar
and Ignorant pigeons could never ap.
preciate. Among the pigeons now in
the possession Of the Government are
several veterans of the siege of Paris,
and one among Them is a genuine
old hero. In 1870 this bird was taken
up in the Paris balloon called Niepce,
and was captured by the PrtssianS.
Prince Frederick Charles sent him rs n
present to his mother, the Princess
Charles of Prussia, who put him anon
her W collection Of birds, where he
was treated with all possible kindness.
But he was Il patriot. The bitter bread
OF exile did not agree with him. He
flew away and reached his home in ,
pigeon-house in the Boulevard Clichy.
The ownero of this establishment handed
him over to the military authorities,
and he is now once more in the service
OF his native country, and doubles.

What to DO With Injured or Wounded

Persons Till the Doctor Comes.
Keep n wounded or injured person
on the level, if possible; pc very, very
gentle. The handiest of all strctchcrs
is Il large shutter or door. with a mat
trcss OF pillows upon it. Or II plaid or
blanket used as a hammock will do, ora
net hammock itself. if one be handy.
While n party is carrying the injured
person home, or to a chemists shop.
some one must be sent to procure sur
gical assistance. The sooner surgicil
aid Is got the more chance Of u speedy
recovery will the patient have. Be
careful and not give brandies in injuries
to the head. You might commit fatal
error! The best way to distinguish a
fracture from u dislocation is to find
out by manipulation whether there is
motion in the injured part. In disloca'

1t is well known that farmers'
wives and daughters, us a rule, have to
work much harder than their village
sisters do. Probably. in the past, their
husbands also have been obliged to
put in more hours a day than was the
rule in towns: but now the farmer, BY
the aid of machinery and system. can
bring his labor into as few hours as any
artisan can his. As his hours of labor
become fewer and his work less ex-
haustive, from putting so much of the
hardest of it on to the horses, if he is q
